Description

Hypertech Max Energy E-CON Economy performance chip extracts every bit of energy possible out of every molecule of fuel to give customers exactly what they want. This gives you more miles per gallon at partial throttle and more power at wide open throttle. It is perfect for increased fuel economy with a modest increase in performance when you need it most. The Max Energy E-CON is available for both gas and diesel engine pickup trucks and SUV's. Hypertech designed the Max Energy E-CON to offer optimized tuning for standard octane on gas vehicles while offering fuel programs A and B on diesel engines.

The Max Energy E-CON offers easy plug and play installation as well as the option to change settings or return the vehicle back to stock settings at any time. Another feature of the Max Energy E-CON programmer is its ability to read and clear engine diagnostic trouble codes as well as reset "check engine" lights. The Max Energy E-CON includes a USB cable and is capable of downloading software updates via the internet. As well as new software updates, Hypertech is also offering users the ability to upgrade their Max Energy E-CON with downloadable features. These features include top speed and rev limiter, speedometer/odometer correction, transmission shift points/firmness, and cooling fan on/off settings.

If you are looking to improve your fuel economy and an affordable please, this is the ideal solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Hypertech tuning void my warranty? No. Federal law prohibits a dealer from voiding your warranty just because you are using aftermarket parts, with only two exceptions: A warranty claim can be denied only if the part is the cause of damage, or if it adversely affects the emissions or the emissions system.

What is Hypertech Power Tuning? Power Tuning is the optimization of the fuel delivery and ignition spark timing curves to produce maximum horsepower and torque. An engine's air, fuel and spark requirements vary throughout its operating range. When Hypertech's engineers and technicians develop Power Tuning for a vehicle, their objective is to absolutely nail the best spark timing and the best air/fuel ratio for every point in the rpm curve.

Can I run regular gasoline? While most tuning is designed and calibrated for 92 or 93 octane fuel, we do have some applications that have a dual fuel tuning program available.

Will Power Tuning hurt my engine in any way? No. Best power is always made when air/fuel ratio and the spark tuning has been optimized for maximum power, meaning maximum "push" on the piston during each power stroke. Damage occurs if the air/fuel mixture is too lean, meaning that there is not enough fuel for the amount of air in the cylinder. This results in excess super-heated air which can cause burning of valves and pistons and will also induce detonation (which can break pistons, etc.) Relative to spark timing, too much "advance" will cause detonation which reduces power and can also damage parts exactly as a lean mixture does. When we finish power tuning, your engine will run at maximum efficiency yet safely distanced from possible damage due to leanness or excessive spark advance.

Installation

The Max Energy ECON Power Programmer takes only minutes for installation. To get started, locate the OBD2 port under the dash of your vehicle and connect the data cord between the port and your programmer. Once the programmer is connected to the port simply follow the directions as the programmer walks you through the installation. If you have any questions please call us at 877-216-5446.

used product on a 4500 mile trip, was getting over 20 mpg in mountains, Mpg went down across Kansas, had strong winds to contend with. Power is great. Mileage increased about two mpg going back and forth to work. This on a 2012 F-350 power stroke. I am pleased with product.

Installed very easy, bought the programmer so I could firm up the transmission shifting. I tow a travel trailer occasionally and wanted better shifting. It works very well for that purpose.

Before purchasing product, I was looking for better fuel economy. After programming, I eliminated the throttle lag, the shift happy transmission and some fuel economy. I did marry up the programmer with better air filter.

WOW is all I can say. I updated the Hypertech Power Programmer and installed it on my 2011 Silverado 2500 HD 6.6 Duramax and instant performance. I was plesently impressed with the power increase immediately after installation. I have used both Level 2 & 3, both with power and fuel mileage increases. I pull a 40' 5th Wheel and have seen 1-2 MPG in increased fuel mileage on the flat. Also impressive is the ease of pulling the rig over a 7000' 8% grade pass where in the past was a chore.

I have a 2004 ram hemi and for some reason the 53500 doesnt work on the 2004 rams even though it say 2004-whatever year listed. You need the 53501, which is what i thought i was getting. I ended up getting sent the wrong model from Real Trucks. So i had to get an exchange took about 1.5 weeks.Theconstruction is all cheap plastic and the whole thing seems dated for vehicles in the 90s. I cant tell really any change beside throttle response which seems how it saves you gas(in other words drive slow and accelerate slow to get the same results). Its cheap, does something, and is easy to use. I would get something in the $500 range, but I'm a poor college student(cause ive got a hemi!)

Good product, didn't exactly work for mePosted on 09/30/2012

I purchased the Hypertech product for my 2005 Nissan Frontier. I have the NISMO package with 265HP engine. After installing Hypertech, I really didn't notice any change in power or MPG. Perhaps that's because the engine computer was already set to max power and optimum MPG. So I don't think there was any room for imporvements. I will continue to test for another month before I consider returning it. Good product, just not for me.
